The best of your town. One pick per category.
Oregon Top Picks is a short guide to each city. Sixteen categories, one standout local business in each, checked against public reviews and our own standard. No pages of ads to dig through.
Not every business in town. The one worth calling.
Big directories list everyone and leave you to sort it out. We keep each city to sixteen picks, so the list stays short enough to trust.
We look at the record
Public ratings and reviews, over time, not one good month. Then how long the business has served the city.
We check it ourselves
Licensed where the trade requires it, rooted in the city and confirmed by our team before a profile goes live.
One per category, per year
Each pick holds its category for the year. Every profile shows why it made the list and when we last checked.
Picks are members, and their membership pays for the guide and the mailer. Only businesses that meet the standard can join, and a category that's taken can't be bought out from under them. We say this plainly because a badge is only worth something if you can trust it.
Starting in Lake Oswego. More towns as they're ready.
A city goes live once its sixteen categories have strong local businesses to fill them.

The guide, on the fridge.
A few times a year, a big 9 by 12 card brings the city's picks to about 5,000 homes, each with a neighbors-only offer. Scan any tile to open that business's page and its current offer.
